O.C.D. Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Sure there is a mod - mustache chrome has been plasti-dip'd, lol. I got my 05 Manual wagon about 2 months ago. Love it! Done the banjo filter mod, catless up-pipe, stage 1, COBB short throw and bushings, Shell Rotella oil and some other goodies. My 4th Subie and I love it the most. She decided to play with a trash dumpster before Christmas. But she is all fixed now. Anyway, back to you. Is she a 5 speed? Mileage?

newlisbonlegacy Posted January 9, 2013 Author Share Posted January 9, 2013 Awww horrable damage! What happend? Glad you got her fixed!! Shes an auto. Oddly enought this is my first car with a auto trans! Always had manual tranny cars and trucks lol. Sense i finally got a job, i can start doing to her what i want. Stage 2 "kit" and new wheels. But this is by far, my favorite car! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tundrabrat Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I got tired of effortless acceleration, rock solid handling... and spending way too much money on parts... so I had to go old school. I'm happy to give my input... I built this thing before parts weren't cheap and you couldn't find them used. When I sold it, I had built it from stem to stern including complete engine build.

Did you do Phenolics as well? Or is that a STI complete swap? VF52? Brembos too boot! That Sir is a lovely Legacy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A complete and damage free Legacy. It was after a snow storm and I lost all control in the parking lot at work. Couldn't stop or turn and just plowed into a dumpster enclosure at 20. $4,000 in damage and she is looking better than before. New hood, fender, intake, bumper, headlight, etc, etc....

That Sir is a lovely Legacy. I was one of the original guys to do the manifold, tgv delete, vf39, sti tmic, and ACT flywheel and clutch (back when I did this we had no choices in Turbo upgrades). I added brembos, sti up pipe, catless down pipe and borla exhaust. I spun a rod bearing and did a full bulid (rods, pistons, oil pump etc) and added an 18g. Exterior was mild JDM... front bumper and waist spoiler, debadged and tinted tail lights. Short shift kit, group n tranny, motor and cross member mounts, firm linkage bushings, perrin rear sway, HR springs. ...yeah, my old subies are way cheaper to run.
